When Juliet refers to romeo as a beautiful tyrant this is an example of what literary element?
That would be considered an oxymoron. Two contradictoray terms are used to describe something. They are all through Romeo and Juliet. Same area of the play the description of Dove-feathered Raven and Wolved-ravised Lamb as well. there are tons in that play alone. Shakespeare was great at using them.
How does romeo describe Juliet after seeing her for the first time?
In Act 1 Scene 5 (when they meet briefly for the first time) Romeo describes Juliet as teaching the torches to burn bright, 'as a rich jewel', "Beauty too rich for use', as a 'snowy dove trooping with crows' and a 'Holy shrine'. The exact words he uses are "O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright! It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night like a rich jewel in an Ethiop's ear--beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear! So shows a snowy dove trooping with crows as yonder lady o'er her fellows shows."
What does Benvolio suggest Romeo do to cure his lovesickness?
By getting him to crash Capulet's party, where he will see women even better than Rosaline that will make his "dove a crow". It works a little too well.
What made Juliet call Romeo 'a ravenous dove'?
Juliet calls Romeo a "ravenous dove" because she is teasing him playfully for being eager to kiss her. Just like a dove that hungrily seeks food, Romeo is eager for affection and intimacy with Juliet.
Why is it ironic that romeo compares Juliet to a snowy dove trooping with crows when he first sees her at the party?
It is ironic because Romeo is commenting on Juliet's beauty by comparing her to a dove surrounded by crows, suggesting that she stands out among the other guests. However, Juliet is actually surrounded by her family and friends, who are the Capulets, making them metaphorical "crows" as they are enemies of Romeo's family, the Montagues.
Who does Romeo and Juliet compare themselves to?
Romeo compares Juliet to the sun, saying she is so bright that she outshines the moon and stars. Juliet compares Romeo to a rose, stating that his name is her enemy but he would still be just as perfect even if he had a different name.

What color is Juliet in shakespeares play?
The play doesn't make any special mention of Juliet's color. The essence of the story is that the lovers, Romeo (a Montague) and Juliet (a Capulet), belong to different families that have long been locked in feud over an ancient grudge. The scenes are set in Italy. Their families are Italian, so both Romeo and Juliet would have Mediterranean skin coloring. Romeo describes Juliet in various terms: * She's fair -Act 1, Scene I * A snowy dove trooping with crows -Act 1, Scene V * Fair sun! -Act II, Scene II These words by Romeo are considered to be expressions of loving endearment, rather than being any noteworthy indication of the color of her skin. In another of Shakespeare's plays, 'Othello', Othello is described as being black. He is a moor from Africa, and much is made of his racial origin in the play. But in 'Romeo and Juliet' the focus throughout is on the enmity between two fellow-Italian families, which is also typical of what happens between many families in other parts of the world, regardless of their nationality or ethnic backgrounds. As the tale unfolds we see the needless strife and tragedy that such family-feuds can cause for future generations. So Juliet's color would be ... Mediterranean, a light tan, maybe also described as olive.
